Hiding | Aloysius & Cassandra
“You’re not supposed to be here.”
Here was the back storage room at one of the more popular local shops that was always busting, but boasted an especially large crowd on the first day of Yuletide. Unlike the other, smaller vendors, Three Roses’s stall in the marketplace held only a sampling of their inventory and their two-story shop filled with sweets, tokens, and even clothing was always a huge draw.
Aloysius had come into the store escorting Isabella Turner and had lost her (somewhat purposefully) in the crowds and stole away into the back room. When she drew his name, he wondered (for a brief moment) what he had done to offend the gods so, until he realized that in light of all of the terrible things he had done in his life, he supposed they were actually being rather generous with him.
Still, it did not make the arrangement any less awkward, considering how their relationship had ended and he was in no mood to resolve things with her amongst the merry crowds enjoying the first day of Yule.
It seemed, however, seeing that Cassandra Astley had had the same idea, he was not the only one who was trying to escape their escort.
“And here I was, feeling sorry for myself for having the worst luck in the world,” He teased, “But you have had the worst luck of all. I truly do not envy you. If only we could switch partners.” Not that he truly would have wished Robert Persimmons on Isabella Turner (she had to spend enough time with him as it was).
Cassandra laughed. “I’m not supposed to be here? I fancy Mrs. Withers would be far more alarmed to walk in and find you hiding in her store room than me,” she teased with mock dignity, a display slightly ruined by a few giggles as she pictured the scene to follow. “You do realize, of course, Mrs. Withers would be half-shocked and half-over-awed to find a Prince of all Aclea squatting amongst her flour. She will ultimately, I’m sure, boast of the event for years to come and, likely, beg of you your seal to use above her door -- and, likely, get it too, given how you will be granted not a wink of rest until she’s had her way. Truly, in such an event, I pity you.”
Mrs. Withers was, arguably, the worst gossip in Elsbridge which, in so small a town, so burgeoning with gossips as this, was an achievement. Cassandra had always found the name of her shop — the Three Roses — quite amusing for two reasons. First, Mrs. Withers had a well-known tendency (which she apparently considered quite subtle) for using the maintenance of her roses as an excuse to spy and easedrop on her neighbors and, second, because Cassandra liked to joke that — despite the abundance of rose bushes dotting the landscape of her garden — Mrs. Withers could only boast three rose blossoms due to her sad tendency to accidentally decapitate the flowers in her eagerness to overhear the latest tittle tattle.
“You do realize the gossip would suddenly become that you’re a the notorious thief who plagues everyone who has extra riches to boast of, that I’m mourning a broken heart watching Mr. Persimmons’ passion for all five of the Turners, and that both you and I are even now planning some diabolical and incomprehensible retribution on, likely, High Inquisitor Griffiths or some such personage, which only relates to our troubles in a very confusing and circuitous fashion.”
That was something Cassandra liked very much about Mrs. Withers: oh, she always jumped to conclusions, but never obvious ones. Another person spotting two rich, attractive young people both hiding away somewhere might draw the obvious, tawdry conclusions, but Mrs. Withers was more…creative in her conclusions. In fact, usually they were quite wild. Why, just recently a young woman dancing along a local wood had been declared scandalous by Mrs. Murdock -- the chiefest of the gossips in Elsbridge -- but Mrs. Withers had not thought their speculations about harlotry could be quite correct: Mrs. Withers had put it around that this behavior was that not of a harlot, as the Queen of the Gossips had declared it to be, but the act of a religious zealot. What deity this supposed ritual had served was unclear, as was its purpose and truly anything else about it, but to Mrs. Withers, no intention had ever been more certain and she could not be drawn off her opinion of the matter for anything.
Cassandra laughed. “At least Isabella isn’t finding any excuse to yodel…a plight I have, admittedly, both cultivated and brought upon myself. I think I shall bring Mr. Persimmons round again to the snake skins. It was far more merciful on my ears.” Cassandra chuckled. “Do not pity me, sir, in my case, I am extremely diverted. My worst trial is twofold: first, I do so wish I were not the center of all his attentions: he is far more managable and diverting when one may share his focus with another and, two, my self-discipline is taxed to its last shred. I am dying to laugh! And I cannot! I feel fit to burst. So we needn’t wish Mr. Persimmons on poor Isabella, again, just yet.”
She paused, a look of sympathy entering her expression. She knew the conclusions of their relationship had proven painful both to the Prince and to th Dragonrider, and Cassandra wished, uselessly, that there were something she could do to aid them both. She could, at least, make him laugh, she concluded, and decided to try.
“Perhaps you could take a page out of your brother’s playbook and escort whichever of the Astleys or Turners who best suits your mood, any given day,” she suggested with a playful smirk. “The Prince of Arith told me off just yesterday for so shamefully attaching myself to your cousin, Charles,” she added, eyes twinkling with amusement. “When I knew full well my heart lay a different way. I confess, I did nothing to dispel such attributions and, instead, I threatened to become a priestess of Vestia and spend all the rest of my days wailing at her altar for the love I was denied. In truth, I’ve no notion who I’m supposed to be in love with, and I’m sure I’ve made things so much worse for everyone, but I could not resist. It was the most ridiculous thing I could think to say at the time, and you know in such moments my mind always flies to the ludicrous.
“In any case, I certainly caught him off guard with that line,” she laughed. “I’ve never seen someone look quite so stricken. He turned beet red and looked as if he would choke, and then he told me — half-yelling, half-commanding — that ‘True piety is the essence of truth!’ which as far as I can tell, means just…nothing at all, so I knelt and began to pray to cover that I was laughing so. I think I may fairly say that he does not now know what to think of me anymore than I of him.”

OOC | Cassandra & Aloysius
so i feel like these two have almost certainly met, both being noble/royal, etc, and her sister ~supposedly about to marry into his (kind of) extended family…i mean, aloysius himself isn’t related to the actons, i guess, but his half-bro is…so…yknow…basically, they’ve almost certainly been to the same parties asp!! i feel like cass, like the rest of aclea, is like ‘wow…whY did this bro have to be born lasT?????’ bc he might be a womanizer but at least he’s not, well, his brothers lasdjflkjsdjf but anyway!! i guess that’s why you join a rebellion and try to overthrow the king *hair flip*
anyway!!! im not sure how well they’d know e/o bc i feel like the house of astley likes to stay in astley to look after their ppl rather than following the court around on its progress to party it up buT im sure they def see e/o while the court is in valencourt during the season, so…yeah!! what do you think he’d make of her?
I absolutely agree!!! Plus, Aloysius is definitely gonna just go around introducing himself to all of the pretty girls!!!
But yeah, I feel like they could actually maybe even be friends??? I feel like Aloysius would have flirted with her hardcore when he first met her, but I think he would actually sorta consider her to be more like a sister? I’m not sure why, but I feel like he went into this relationship with the intent to just have some fun and came out with a friend and just wanted to keep her as such?
And like IDK what Cass would think of him, exactly, but I think that they would have fun at boring formal events together, but she’d also scold him for ~wasting his potential~ and Aloysius would just be like hahah wish I could do something but I can’t – wanna come gambling with me!?
fkjzfldksjflkdsf ok but now im laughing bc, like, idk ithat this would actually happen, but im picturing cass like humoring aloysius’ flirting tryna get info which she reports back to the rebels…only to realize it was just innuendos or flat out wronG or completely insignificant or whatever and she was too hype about the idea of intel from one of the princes to realize it until she was repeating it to the entire rebellion who’re just staring blankly and balefully at her and i can’t stop laughing akjsdflksfksf ANYWAY!! lakjsdfjklsdf
omg but i like the idea of them being friends!! finding a lil sanity in the chaos!! omg i love the idea of them being sister/brother!!!! i feel like she, herself, was probs a big part of them bc she wasn’t interested in him ~in that way~ but she could deffff see that he has so! much! squandered potential!!! and she just wanted to encourage him in that!!!!! and help him achieve his goals!!! and be the person he wants to be!!!! so he’s flirting and she’s like ‘yeah sex is cool but have you ever had someone look at you w pride shining in their eyes????’ and basically redirected their interactions, but in a fun, friendly way, not a pressuring, disapproving way at all, if that makes sense????? bc she’s a playful person yknow???? and somewhere along the way they became real friends alskdjfakljsdf
ngl, some part of her was probs lowkey hoping against hope that she could make a rebel out of him in the beginning lakjsdflkjsf tho asking someone to turn on their own bro is a loT to ask someone to do…even when thaT’s his bro alksjdfkljsf and she probs doesn’t wanna put him in that position, so she’s a big torn dkfjaklsdaf #whoops
cass always here to scold him for wasting his potential!!!! and to cheerlead him whenever he does smth that seems like its veering into potential!!!!! atp the lil good angel on his shoulder probs sounds an awful loT like cass jk jk and omggg them having fun together at boring events!!!!! yknow they do stuff like mockingly guess what the foreign minister and the master of coin are talking about and make it into some ridiculous scandal they’re trying to hide like one of them has a stain on their shirt and the other is blackmailing them about it to get them to do smth equally stupid, and like try to predict how many jewels the king will be wearing when he finally shows up, and like all these silly lil games basically to pass the time and entertain e/o asldjfkljdsf honestly she’s probs roped him into covering for her while she hangs out w ed, too, which he probs believes is a romantic walk in the garden but is actually an exchange of rebel intel whoops and she probs thinks he should actually tell esther how he feels (if you think she might know about that?) and skldjafklsjf is basically a menace in his life tbh
aloysius: wanna come gambling w me!?
cass: i only gamble with my life, never my money
aloysius, probably: …
jk jk…tho also technically canonically accurate ig alksjdfkjsdfj since she has no real money to speak of but is forever risking her life by being a rebel lsdljflksdf but anyway klsjflksjkdf
laksjflKJLAJLFJASLFJALFJ lajsdlfj reporTING back innuendos!!!!! I’m alskjfaljflJF man, I cannot stress how much Aloysius would just absolutely love that this happened. I mean, he wouldn’t know about it, but if he ever found out he would honestly be like “this is the single greatest moment of my entire life”
HAVE YOU EVER HAD ANYONE LOOK AT YOU WITH PRIDE IN THEIR EYES alskjfljf Aloysius would be like “no? idk what that is” aslkjfljdf I do feel like he would find that part of her very endearing, but also annoying because while it’s all very light hearted, I do think that it would make him have to think about how he’s not really doing anything and how he’s long given up about doing something because he’s been frustrated with it in the past, and like he doesn’t likE to think about that because it makes him feel like a bad person
ALSO I’m crying b/c I think he would legit consider joining the rebellion if he knew about it, but he’s not really someone who it is cool to ask BECAUSE of his relations #awkward
alksjdflJLJALFJ OMG YES!!! Also I think their ridiculous stories probably build on each other like “omg look at that tacky last season shirt the prime minister has to wear now because the master of coin took all of his money last time after blackmailing him about that horrible stain.”
in which aloysius stiLL did more to forward the aclean cause, today, by confusing an over-eager spy by trying to flirt w her, than ambrose has ever done in his entire life lbr ;DDDD lakdjsfkljksdjf THE GREATEST MOMENT OF HIS LIFE STOP IM CACKLINGGG salkdjfkljsdaf meanwhile will probs holds up his hand partway through and is like ‘maybe go think a bit about what he said and then come back if anY of it is still smth you won’t blush to repeat’ ;DDDD and anyway that’s the story of how aloysius murdered her from afar ;DDDD
idk what that is lkasjdfkljsdjfk sad but true and cass about to play the world’s tiniest violin like ‘and you never will unless you come w me rn and do smth slightly more constructive w your time than take ambrose’s advice..any of his advice. in fact, probably just do the opposite.’ alkdjflkjdsfkds cass ruining aloysius’ life one silly comment at a time and honestly she’d be so proud to know she’s making him miserable in ~that way bc it means she’s at least starting to make a difference sdlfjaskdjlfkjd
HE WOULD’VE JOINED LAJDSKFLAJSDF ironiessssssssss bc yeahhh unless things get waY worse enough that its worth the risk...they will never ask him!!! it’s just too dangerous!! aldksjfakjsdf and yet he’s the biggest piece of the puzzle they missing -- they could pull off so much more w his help dlksfjakdjf i love it sm hwat a disaster lkjsdfkjdsf instead they’ll have to content themselves w hoping cass can annoy him enough w her ‘try harder!’ banter that he actually picks his napkin up off the ground rather than letting a servant do it ;DDD jk jk
!!!!!!!!!!! their ridiculous stories building on e/o omggggg i love ittttt lkjdsfkjsdkljfkldjsf cassandra, doing that weird nasally accent she does when speaking as the master of coin: ‘muahahaha mon chere and now i shall blackmail you AGAIN this time for wearing last season’s shirt in public!! you will never escape my evil ploy! soon, through you, all the black swans in the world shall be mine at long last, and my evil schemes shall be complete -- mine, i tell you, all mineeeee!’
Dreamboat | Cassandra & Robert
She had been prepared. Assiduously and continuously, she had been prepared by the Turners, but now that the moment was here, now that she had finally convinced Robert of the necessity of a recitition of his prowess in yodeling, she found that she was in no way truly prepared -- further, she had found that there was, in fact, no preparation for such an event. She liked to think of herself as someone quite hardened in the art of keeping a straight face. Had she not, after all, been a rebel spy at court for years now? And yet, as the first bleeting syllable streamed across the icy wind, she found herself nearly overcome.
It was fortunate, indeed, that Mr. Persimmons’ own estimation of himself was quite grand, she considered, as it may allow her to skate past: she would say her tears were not of merth, but of some unspeakable artistic anguish at the beauty she was now hearing...and he would believe in her tender female heart.
As the last note sprang from his lips, Cassandra came forward rapidly (as much to ensure that he did not spring into another verse as anything) to congratulate him. “Oh, my dear Mr. Persimmons, how melodious! I can see, truly, that your talents have not been exaggerated by any in my acquaintance. Is this not the kind of sound which is the reason many get up in the morning?” Indeed, she had, just that morning, heard Isabella complaining of having been awakened by his bleating in the wee hours. “What a wonderful world we live in.”
Biting back a smirk, she added. “But, come, we must not be late! You have come all this way to escort me since I was fortunate enough to draw your name and, however much I may wish to hear more of your sweet yodels, I must concede that we best be on our way if we mean to make the Yuletide celebrations in time! I trust you are ready for a night of festive adventure, Mr. Persimmons?”

OOC | Cassandra & Helen
I feel like these two could potentially know e/o, given that Cassandra’s friends w her nephew and that they both have courtly/noble connections etc!! If Cass had any earthly idea that Helen was also a rebel at heart, she’d jump at the chance to introduce her to the rebellion!!! but sadly i don’t think she ~is aware of this, presently so she’s just out there tryna find this gossip columnist and wouldn’t begin to imagine that Miss Rivers could be she alkjsdfkjdsjkf
asflkjslfkjaslfj I think it’s so funny that Helen & Cass are looking for each other and have nO idea that they’ve already found one another alsfjlajfljf
okay, so I can see where they would be friends if they actually got to know each other, but I can also see where Helen might have judged Cassandra and the Astley fam too harshly, too? I think Helen hears and sees a lot and possible knows the state that the Astley estate is in, and yet she sees them continuing to spend money as though nothing is wrong ++ she sees Beatrice being open to several different marriage proposals and she seems like she’s leading guys on w/o letting them know that the Astley estate isn’t what they think it is.
I also think that Helen tends to (sometimes) judge people too quickly and is too proud to see that she might have actually been wrong in it, because she’s proved herself right so many times. (I can also see where she might later print somethings about the Astleys that aren’t great which might complicate Cass’s feelings about the gossip columnist????)
IDK about you, but I kinda like enemies to friends for these two??? I feel like, if Helen knew Cass well, she’d love her to pieces but she’d also trust her and would suspect that she had sympathies (if not ties!!) to the resistance and would have already asked her about it.
ldksjfakljsdaklfjlkdsjfk omgggg its trueeeee i love it sm heehee
ommmmggggg helen literally thinking the worst of beatrice’s self sacrifice is so beautiful im ldlskjfakldjsfk bc honestly it makes sense that she’d draw that conclusion!!!!!! esp since i feel like...helen’s defffff been exposed to a lot of the worst court has to offer, what w charlotte having at first been the king’s mistress etc ldksjfajdsfjkakjsdf and i think if cass stopped to consider that, she’d probs understand more, but honestly if helen ever said smth bad about beatrice, cass would be like ‘wow how can anyone be that heartless that’s like saying bambi is evil. bambi.’ laksdjfkljdkjf like cass is v protective of her fam and she things that bea is perfect in every conceivable way and that this world would be better if more ppl were like her (i mean...she’s not wrong) and i feel like ‘beatrice is a bitch’ and ‘kill the fae’ are like the two things you can say to have cass instantly hate you even tho in ~general she tries to see the best in others alksdjfkljdsf
but!!!! im getting ahead of myself bc idk that helen’s said anything at all like that so alsdkjfkljsdf who knows!!!!
omg!!!!! id love it if she printed some things abt the astleys to make cass’s blood boil!!!1 lkajskdlfjsd *intrigueeee* (ironically ppl at court start respecting them more now that they think they’re just players and not actually altruists...jk, jk)
omg emeies to friends yassssss!!!!! that’ll be so much funnnn!!! esp bc, like you said, i also think that cass would absolutely adore helen if she knew her well, but there’s just enough of the superficial and misunderstanding here to create a really interesting dynamic that they’d have to ~find each other in, first!!!!!! and i love that for them both!!!!!! <33333 esp bc they’re so much on e/o’s side in so many ways and they’ve got no clueeee

Lost | Beatrice & Cassandra
“Me?” Beatrice felt a flush of color rise to her cheeks at the implication, but she quickly returned to her normal complexation as she shook her head - covering her surprise with a laugh, “Now, I know you are being ridiculous.” She said it as though the fact that she might have feelings for Xavier York could not be further from the truth. She did not think that her sister truly suspected it, but she dreaded the day that she would discover it. Cassandra would never let her marry anyone else and was not likely to forgive her if she did.
“Alright, that’s quite enough of that,” She replied, her voice assuming her rather serious “eldest sister” tone, which meant that she would likely scold Cassandra if she continued, “It wouldn’t do to have the servants come with our tea to overhear something like that.” Beatrice did not want her sister to unearth the details of her relationship with Xavier, but she liked to think of the servants learning about it all even less. If they found out about it, Beatrice was certain that the gossip would spread to every other household in Acela like wildfire and that was not something she needed her potential suitors to catch wind of.
Beatrice was glad when the conversation drifted back to their brother, “I hope we might find him someone who isn’t as silly as Miss Parker, but with all of her wealth. I should hope that he would love her, too.” Even Beatrice knew that that was a tall order. Better she be silly than cruel, and Beatrice knew that the Astley estate needed as much, financially, as could be had from their marriages. She hoped to save them all with her own union, but it seemed more and more likely that Alexander, at least, would also have to make an advantageous match, as well as herself, so that Astley would be secure and the other three could marry as they would.
"I suppose such an eligible lady does not exist, but that shouldn’t stop us from trying to find her. He seems rather disinterested in all the potentials, as of now, but I think he’s simply averse to the idea of marrying, just yet. He is still so terribly young.“ Although he was a good deal older than Beatrice cared to realize. He would always be her baby brother and would have to have sprouted gray hairs before Beatrice began to urge him to take a wife.
Beatrice had hoped that he might have confided his troubles to Cassandra: as it was clear, now to both, that something was certainly pressing on his mind. She wouldn’t have wanted Cass to betray his trust, but at least, she would have been comforted in the fact that he had at least taken measures to unburden himself. "That is what I suppose it to be,” Beatrice replied, “I am sure the responsibility of it all seems overwhelming … do you think perhaps one of us ought to try to speak with him? Or should we trust that he will come to us, in time, if he wishes to?” Alexander could be so terribly proud and stubborn; it wasn’t always easy to know what the best course was.
For a moment, Cassandra’s gaze hovered upon her sister’s: incisive, investigative. For all that she’d not meant to say she thought Beatrice might marry Xavier...it was also true and, thus, she regarded the reaction with no small amount of interest, however desirious she was to smooth over the entire affair. “Why, should not a man fit to be a future king not wed the eldest daughter of our clan?” she added, as if it had all been only a joke. “I am sorry it falls to your lot thus to be offered up as sacrificial lamb...and yet you could hardly have a more noble -- nor, I daresay, a more handsome -- husband, so perhaps you ought to thank to thank me for the nomination. I, meanwhile, shall doubtless be paired with a thoughtless rich toad of a husband while you galavant across the country with the best of men, so you best not complain to me of it.” Laughing, she took a sip of her tea.
Sighing as her sister adopted the dreaded ‘older sister’ voice, she relented. “As if the servants don’t adore you just as much as the rest of us!” she said, half a sigh and half a tease. “But I wouldn’t like to embarrass Mr. York so, for his sake,” she joshed, eyes sparkling. “I suppose we may let the subject alone for a stretch.”
Smiling softly, a touch sadly, Cassandra nodded. “Oh, yes, may our brother have the good sense to fall madly in love with the loveliest, the wealthiest, and the most sensible lady in all of Aclea. I believe that would put many of our troubles quite to rest. But who is this paragon, and how might we manage to bring them together?”
Sighing glumly as her sister owned that perhaps such a lady were nothing more than a work of fiction, she glanced out the window. “Who knows, perhaps our brother will manage to ensnare the Princess of Harmanil. Lords know the King is hardly likely to do the job creditably, parading his mistress around for all to see. Oh, it’s not that I’m especially shocked by the existence of such a person, but must he make such an exhibition of her before one who might otherwise wed him and thus improve the fortunes of the whole nation? But, then, perhaps that is the goal...perhaps the king is just as loathe as the rest of us to wed against his own hopes and inclination for the greater good. For that much, at least, I find I cannot fault him, though I daresay the princess seems too good for him.”
Absently, Cassandra ran a finger across the gold accent at the edge of her saucer. This was, indeed, a worthy inquiry, but Cassandra found there was no good answer to it. “I...suppose we might try both?” she suggested. “That is, a two-pronged approach. It is clear, after all, that our brother wrestles with something, so that leaves it down to us, I think, to help him shoulder the burden. We must make ourselves entirely available to him...without coming directly to it, I think. That is...speak openly and freely to him with a willing heart and ear...but not directly touch the subject. He’ll make his own choice, I’d wager, from there, don’t you think?”

cass always here to scold him for wasting his potential!!!! and to cheerlead him whenever he does smth that seems like its veering into potential!!!!! atp the lil good angel on his shoulder probs sounds an awful loT like cass jk jk and omggg them having fun together at boring events!!!!! yknow they do stuff like mockingly guess what the foreign minister and the master of coin are talking about and make it into some ridiculous scandal they’re trying to hide like one of them has a stain on their shirt and the other is blackmailing them about it to get them to do smth equally stupid, and like try to predict how many jewels the king will be wearing when he finally shows up, and like all these silly lil games basically to pass the time and entertain e/o asldjfkljdsf honestly she’s probs roped him into covering for her while she hangs out w ed, too, which he probs believes is a romantic walk in the garden but is actually an exchange of rebel intel whoops and she probs thinks he should actually tell esther how he feels (if you think she might know about that?) and skldjafklsjf is basically a menace in his life tbh
aloysius: wanna come gambling w me!?
cass: i only gamble with my life, never my money
aloysius, probably: ...
jk jk...tho also technically canonically accurate ig alksjdfkjsdfj since she has no real money to speak of but is forever risking her life by being a rebel lsdljflksdf but anyway klsjflksjkdf
